Our experience with LAMDA will positively impact my future as an aspiring civil engineer. Although I do not know which sector I want to enter, I know that I will need strong communication and organization skills. The BIM and GIS systems displayed in the LAMDA presentation were key examples of how to use technology to communicate plans with workers and stakeholders efficiently. The detail and complexity of the design plans provided the full project timeline and could be layered to enhance accessibility. It was interesting to learn the BIM Process, which contains all 6 dimensions of the design. I will likely use this process in the future as it is already being mandated in countries around the globe for large-scale public works. Since I want to become a civil engineer, I could be working in the public sector where this process is implemented. To communicate plans effectively, I will likely use a system containing multiple software, similar to the GIS, so project stakeholders have a clear understanding of the features, and the construction is streamlined. This system will reduce errors and improve the efficiency of the process.
